Come to Me

I got back from Youth Camp 09 late Thursday evening...what an amazing time!! The Spirit was moving and the youth were responding. The sense I kept getting was that God really wanted youth, especially those who had grown up in Christians homes and knew the gospel, to respond to it. What I didn't realize was that this applied to me just as much as it applied to unsaved kids. Every time I sin, every time I disobey and rebel against God, I'm turning my back on Him. I'm rejecting the most precious gift that God could give. And I do it every day, every hour, every minute. But the incredible thing is, God's grace covers me. Every time I give in to my sinful desires, God says to me, "I still love you. I will always love you. There is nothing you can do that will make me stop loving you." What on earth did I do to deserve such love? How can I ever repay such devotion? I am so unfaithful and so unworthy of God's love, yet He forgives every impure thought and fleshly desire. What else can I do but return to Him on my knees and thank Him? I used to think that you would ask Jesus into your heart once, and that was it. No, you have to ask him back every time you've rejected him, which for me is all the time. This song popped into my head while we were worshiping on Monday night, and I really think it encompasses the sense that God was giving me:

Come to Me
Come and see
The perfect plan I have for you
The priceless give I gave to you
Come to Me
Come and be
Awed by my amazing grace
Dazzled by my loving face
Come to Me
Come
